Dojo sparring rules?


Goju1

Recommended Posts

Any sparring rules in your dojo? Or is it more up to the two adversaries?

 

Only things not allowed are direct face strikes or knee attacks.

 

Only other one I can think of is that you're not allowed to hit your sparring opponent in the head until green belt ( our 5th belt). You must restrict your contact to below neck level, since It is assumed that one's control is not yet great enough. I wondered if this was common practice? Sure is fun for the higher belts hehehe :D

In our Dojo the rules for free sparring are......

 

Face and head contact for Brownbelts and up (controlled contact)

 

All others no face contact.

 

Body shots a controlled 50% power Upper ranks, lower a little less

 

due to lack of control.

 

The higher ranked adults usually discuss with each other before we start

 

and take it from there.

 

The most basic rule is that if a more skilled student is paired with a less skilled one you are to work with them and help them improve not pound on them.

 

Sweeps, take downs and grappling to a finishing technique are allowed for the adults and advanced teens and discretionary depending on who is paired up.

 

We have not had anyone lose their temper or get too crazy in quite a long time. That is not acceptable, if ya dont want to play nice.........

 

Go sit in the corner :bawling:

 

Injuries do happen on occasion, though they are few and rarely serious.

Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.

No knee techniques is common practice for you guys?

 

That would take away a very important weapon for me.

 

Karate: We do no punching to the face and that's about it.

 

Thaiboxing: You can punch to the face all you want.

 

Obviously groin shots and intentionally damaging joints is not done.

Punch Knee Kick

Hooks, takedowns are ok, just no attacks to the knee joint (on purpose)

When no gloves, no punches to head. Just about everything else is allowed, but with gentleman's rules (i.e. no intentional damaging allowed).

 

Same here. We kick to the legs, head and body. We punch to the body and head when boxing gloves are worn. For the most part we wear light cloth gear, mouth guard and head gear. Sweeps are used and forward throws. OSU!
